Following an 11-15 June, the Colorado Rockies kicked off July with three straight wins. They entered the Saturday holiday matchup with back-to-back 14+ run games. On a day that got a little wonky between injuries, weather delays, umpire injury delays, and more, the Rockies weren’t able to secure a fourth straight win, as the San […]

Colorado Rockies vs. San Francisco Giants OVERFLOW THREAD
It’s been a weird night at Coors Field. It started with a weather delay, and then there was another delay after home plate umpire Scott Barry was hit with a foul tip and was removed from the game. The Rockies are currently down 6-3. Once again, there has been a lot of action in the […]

Colorado Rockies vs. San Francisco Giants game discussion: Robbie Ray vs. Sean Sullivan
The Colorado Rockies kicked off the month of July with a three-game winning streak. They look to make it four on the Fourth.

Rockies Reacts Results: Hunter Goodman should participate in the Home Run Derby
All-Star rosters will be announced this evening, and the Home Run Derby is starting to take shape. So far, Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero is the only player to confirm their participation, but Hunter Goodman was seen taking batting practice from his dad yesterday: Does this mean Goodman is preparing to participate in […]
Under the hood, Charlie Condon is making patience matter
Charlie Condon (No. 1 PuRP) will tell you the adjustment was not dramatic. In Eli Whitney’s Weekly Pebble Report, the Rockies’ top prospect described his midseason surge in fairly modest terms. There were some tweaks with his “load and gather,” a growing comfort in his swing, and a better ability to stay within himself instead […]
Rockies crush Giants 15-3 behind Jake McCarthy’s career night

Colorado Rockies vs. San Francisco Giants game discussion: Logan Webb vs. Ryan Feltner
The Colorado Rockies (35-53) open a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants (36-50) tonight at Coors Field. Colorado is still in last place, but the Rockies enter just two games behind the floundering Giants, adding a little division-floor intrigue to the weekend. The Rockies also enter with some momentum after splitting a four-game series […]
TJ Rumfield selected as NL Rookie of the Month for June
Major League Baseball announced today that Colorado Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield has been selected as the National League’s Rookie of the Month for June.

Who is the real Ezequiel Tovar?
Flashback to 2023. The Rockies lost over 100 games for the first time in franchise history, and the future was bleak. One of the lone bright spots was Ezequiel Tovar. The 21-year-old shortstop was fresh off a breakout rookie season. Hoping to capitalize on the promising prospect from Venezuela, the Rockies — a team in need […]
Purple Row After Dark: June Rockie(s) of the Month
Despite it feeling as though May just ended, the calendar has already flipped to July. The Rockies were able to rebound from an all around poor 8-20 May with an 11-15 record in June.

Contextualizing the Rockies trade deadline motivations
With the August 3, 2026, trade deadline fast approaching, it will soon be challenging to follow the flurry of rumors and transactions as they unfold across the league. Inevitably rumors will spread about who from the Colorado Rockies other teams are interested in, and writers will post unrealistic mock trade ideas. Before that all starts […]

Sometimes it takes persistence when fishing after a couple of days of disappointment. The Colorado Rockies found plenty to be happy about as they routed the Miami Marlins 6-3.

The Rockies have revived that late-game “LoDo Magic”
There was a time in Colorado Rockies’ history when it was normal to expect a miraculous late-game rally, particularly at Coors Field, because of the offense’s power. They could strike fear in the heart of an opposing pitcher because of the certainty that no lead was ever truly safe. However, over the years of losing […]
Marlins soundly trounce the Rockies, 14-3
In their second contest with the Miami Marlins, the Colorado Rockies had hoped to even the score after dropping the series opener. However, a persistent Marlins offense coupled with effective pitching left the Rockies mostly empty handed with catcher Brett Sullivan pitching the final 1.2 innings.
